May 29 of the lunar calendar is not a grand day, and it seems ordinary throughout the month of May; even in Beijing, most of them live this kind of "day after day" ordinary life.

But this May 29th of this year is very different——

Rumors broke out in Beijing on this day that the "Jiuhua Yulu Slimming Pills", which was sold out some time ago with the back of Concubine Long, was actually a common medicine with parasites added!
The worms are brought into the human body through pills to absorb nutrients from the human body so as to achieve the purpose of weight loss.

There are rumors going around, saying that a girl from other places pulled a two to three feet long parasite out of her stomach because of taking this "worm weight loss pill"!

There are even people who have dizziness, abdominal pain, and nausea because of taking this medicine, and they die without finding out the cause!
If someone hadn't seen the worm eggs she released after taking the medicine, everyone would have been kept in the dark by Concubine Long Gui! ...

This rumor became more and more intense, and it became very popular; even in less than a day, it was known all over the capital, and many people began to criticize Concubine Long.

Long Wanzong is not a good thing at all, not to mention he likes his aunt who is extravagant and dissolute and has a bad reputation?
The wall fell and people pushed it, the tree fell and the monkeys scattered. There were voices of doubt, "If it is really a parasitic medicine, why does Concubine Long take it herself?" was also drowned in the gradually expanding voice.

Many people are waiting for Concubine Long and the Long family to give an explanation, but Concubine Long, who has always been bold and consistent in her style, is "aphasia" for some reason at this time, and even the Long Mansion is closed to prevent visitors.

In this way, it seems that the fact that Concubine Long is "guilty" is even more confirmed. Many people began to go to the "Long Kee Medicine Store" which is still in business to ask for an explanation.

However, the "Jiuhua Yulu Slimming Pill" has long been out of the market, and even the shopkeeper's mouth was worn out, and no one believed it. On the contrary, many employees were injured due to physical conflicts, and finally had to close the shop.

However, within a day, the voices of condemning Concubine Long in Beijing became louder than the other, and some people even poured tung oil on the door of Long's house and Longji Medicine Store!If it hadn't been discovered early, I'm afraid it would have been burned!

But on the second day, there was a big event that could overwhelm "Concubine Long Gui selling insect medicine", which immediately caught everyone's heart, and there was no time for him to pay attention:
His Royal Highness, Zhou Xian, was buried in an aftershock on the way to Guihua City, and his life and death are uncertain!

"Where's uncle?"

It was already late when Du Heng came back from Wan'an Palace that day, so she tiptoed to sleep.

But until the afternoon of the 29th today, I suddenly discovered a fact that I had overlooked: Xue Feibai, who was usually very noisy, why was there no one?
Whether it was the explosion of Concubine Long's "Parasite Pill" or Zhou Xian being ambushed, although they were all expected, it was not Xue Feibai's style not to jump out and chatter...

So she asked Jingse if she knew where Xue Feibai had gone.

Jing Se blinked her eyes and thought about it carefully, "Master?! Hmm... After Miss went out yesterday, I didn't see him; I saw my uncle was in a hurry, so I asked him if he would be back that night? He said he had something urgent to deal with. , he doesn't know when he will come back, so don't tell Miss you just now, lest you will be worried..."

Du Heng felt that Xue Feibai was thinking too much. Didn't she realize that Xue Feibai was missing after almost a day?
"Oh, by the way, miss, my uncle told me to remind you to eat supper when you came back yesterday...but you came back too late..."

Du Heng smiled and patted Jingse's head: "No problem~" Then asked Jingse to bring the supper that Xue Feibai prepared for her last night.

What Jingse brought her were a few sweet potatoes that were slightly dry and hard.

Jingse's eye circles were slightly red: "Yes, I'm sorry miss, I, I wasted my uncle's heart... After one night, it must not be so delicious..."

Du Heng peeled off the skin nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's just roasted sweet potatoes, it's not like I haven't eaten..."

Her voice stopped abruptly.Because of this thing, she has never eaten it, because the flesh inside is purple.

Seeing Du Heng's expression, Jingse felt more and more guilty: "My uncle said, this thing is called purple potato, which is really different from sweet potato..."

Du Heng was only dazed for a moment, then continued to leisurely put the peeled purple potato into his mouth and took a bite:
"It's okay, I just like to eat overnight...

Hmm~ The taste is also different from that of sweet potatoes. This purple potato doesn't smell as sweet as sweet potatoes, but the taste seems to be more delicious...

Come, Jingse, you have a taste too—" Du Heng broke off a piece of purple potato and handed it to Jingse.

"Ah? Is it really okay? Hmm..." Before Jingse understood the situation, she was stuffed into a piece of roasted purple potato.

She ate a mouthful of purple sweet potatoes, and gave Du Heng a sweet smile: "Miss, it's so delicious..."

Du Heng couldn't help laughing seeing her so easily satisfied, and then continued to eat the remaining purple potatoes with Jingse.

After taking two more bites, Du Heng suddenly slowed down and started staring at the roasted purple potato.

It seems inaccurate to use stare, from Jing Se's point of view, it should be more appropriate to use "grasp"...

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Jing Se seemed to be frightened by Du Heng's eyes, and asked in a low voice.

"Jingse, did my uncle say where he got it? Or who came to deliver it?"

Jingse thought about it for a while, and then shook her head firmly: "If it was sent by the public, there is no reason why my uncle would just give me the baked purple potato..."

Du Heng couldn't tell what it was like, she seemed to be reminded of the untouchable secret place in the dense forest of Yunnan, and something terrible would pop out at any time, some of which she could grasp, and some of which jumped too far from her plan and imagination...

She tried her best to hold back the trembling, and asked Jing Se to get a pen and paper, and she wanted to review everything! ...

Received the order from the lady to get a charcoal basin again, Jingse still didn't understand. So, what are you doing with this in hot weather?Is the thing written by the young lady so hard just now going to be burned? ...

Although the tongue of fire was in the charcoal basin, the bright flame reflected was not to be outdone, illuminating Du Heng's face as if covered with frost.

It's just that the light and heat couldn't dispel the cold air on her face, instead it seemed that her face was flickering, which further showed her difficulty in distinguishing between emotions and anger.

Jingse didn't know why the young lady was suddenly angry, but she only knew that the young lady went out over the wall again in the middle of the night.

Tonight's moon is getting darker and darker, as if pampering and pampering the ghosts and monsters in this world, the young lady in night clothes, in just a few steps, crossed the range that Xue's candlelight could illuminate, and walked into what seemed like an eternal night without hesitation.

Sweet potatoes existed in the Ming Dynasty, but purple potatoes were only introduced into my country in 2002~~~
